It’s not sadly not just the stutter, but the percentage of time I am isolated due to circumstances that are not of my own control, or just being around other family that is already miserable. I’m kinda just hard stuck in life now as I can’t go out with no money but I also might not be able to concentrate on schoolwork while working. I originally wanted to be a psychologist which is why I have an undergrad in psych. I then worked in the field and while it wasn’t bad, already felt myself becoming burnt out by the time I tried going for my graduate in social work, the work felt more of the same and the amount of debt I would be in is scary for how little I would make. I transitioned to IST/cyber because I’ve always been good with that stuff and even moreso now. I’m just worried the courseload + a part time job working something that doesn’t contribute to my IT/cyber career might be too much and I will quit said job again like I have before. If I got something part time IT/cyber I would probably be ok because it’s little talking to others and it corresponds to my major. I don’t even care what job I have in IT/Cyber in the future as long as it pays the bills and I stay employed. I would love to be a cybersec engineer/blue team SOC but it feels so far away not having working experience in the field. It feels impossible for someone wanting to get into entry level IT rn especially in the US and I feel like it’s just impossible to meet people/make connections not only because of my stammer but my circumstances 😕
